Chapter 13 Patriarchal
"Miaomiao, even if they don't do anything to you for a while, if they keep coming for trouble, you and Xiaohe won't be able to bear it."

"Auntie, don't worry. I will come find you after a while, but the time is not right yet."

"Girl, how long will it take to find my aunt? If you go, my aunt will drive you away."

Miao Xiaomiao just smiled and said nothing. Then she remembered that she was still boiling lard in the kitchen, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to check.

At this time, most of the pork in the pot has been boiled, and the originally white suet has turned golden.

Miao Xiaomiao took out the jar of oil and scooped the boiled lard in.

When there was only lard residue left in the pot, Miao Xiaomiao put the lard residue back into the pot and continued to cook it in order not to waste it.

Li Manman walked into the kitchen and saw Miao Xiaomiao doing everything skillfully, feeling less worried in her heart.

Then he started helping Miao Xiaomiao with his work.

When Miao Xiaohe woke up, he smelled a fragrant smell.

He trotted over barefoot and saw Li Manman at a glance.

"Aunt, aunt, hug, hug..."

Li Manman put down what he was doing, and then picked up Miao Xiaohe.

"Come, Auntie, let's see if our river is a little heavy."

"It's getting heavier, it's getting heavier, the river is getting heavier."

When Li Manman heard Miao Xiaohe's answer, he couldn't help but sneered.

"Hey, our Xiaohe is really heavy. It seems that Xiaohe has been eating well recently."

"Well, Xiaohe has a good meal, and my sister will buy me a bag."

Li Manman didn't have much contact with Miao Xiaohe, so he didn't quite understand Miao Xiaohe's words, but he still smiled.

Miao Xiaomiao next to her had finished her work at this time, then scooped out a bowl of lard residue, sprinkled a layer of sugar on top, and brought it over.

"Xiaohe, come and eat the oil residue."

When Miao Xiaohe heard that there was something to eat, he immediately struggled off Li Manman. Then he stood on tiptoes, carefully took a piece, put it to his mouth and blew on it.

"Xiaohe, be careful because it's hot."

"Well, the river will whir."

The three of them chatted while eating the oil residue.

In the afternoon, Li Manman was about to go home, but was forced to stay by Miao Xiaomiao.

"Auntie, I just bought some vegetables today. You can eat them at my house."

"Auntie, let's have a meal."

"Hey, I have to go back to cook now, you..."

"Auntie, there are so many people in your family, so it's okay not to cook once in a while."

Miao Xiaomiao felt that the reason why Li Manman had been bullied was that she was too kind and did whatever they asked her to do, which led to the whole family treating her aunt as a servant.

"Hey, I really can't do anything about you."

In fact, Li Manman didn't want to go back to that home. At this time, she couldn't bear Miao Xiaomiao's repeated attempts to stay, so she decided to stay here for dinner today.

When Miao Xiaomiao saw Li Manman staying, a happy smile appeared on her face, and then she began to use the fan bones she bought to stew soup.

Li Manman was nearby and wanted to help Miao Xiaomiao cook, but was pushed out by Miao Xiaomiao.

"Auntie, just go to the yard and sit and play with Xiaohe. I will cook the food."

Seeing Miao Xiaomiao's persistence, Li Manman could only smile helplessly, and then went to the yard.Because she went to the vegetable market in the morning, Miao Xiaomiao cooked this meal very well.

She made two stir-fried eggplants, stir-fried a plate of stir-fried beans, and stir-fried pork with sauerkraut.

By the time Li Manman came in, Miao Xiaomiao's meal was already ready.

Looking at the food on the table, Li Manman shook his head in disapproval.

"Miaomiao, you two siblings should live a little more frugally now."

"Auntie, aren't you here? I just wanted to prepare two more dishes."

Normally, people only eat meat once or twice a year, but here at Miao Xiaomiao, they actually have two meat dishes at once, which is indeed a bit extravagant.

But for Miao Xiaomiao, her younger brother is her only relative, and her aunt is the only person who cared about her in her previous life. Her two closest relatives are here, so she wants to give the best things to them.

"Miaomiao, even if my aunt is here, you still have to be careful."

After Li Manman finished speaking, he took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it to Miao Xiaomiao.

"Miaomiao, take these two dollars first. When my aunt comes later, she will bring you the money."

Miao Xiaomiao knew that all the money of her aunt's family was in the hands of the old lady, and the two yuan that her aunt took out must have been secretly saved for a long time, and now they were given to her.

"Auntie, I don't need it, I have money."

Miao Xiaomiao said as she put meat into Li Manman's bowl.

Li Manman did not take the money back, but put it on the table, and then silently put the meat in the bowl into Miao Xiaohe's bowl.

"Our Xiaohe is growing, so we need to eat more meat."

At this time, Miao Xiaohe was holding a spoon and putting food into his mouth. When he saw Li Manman picking up the food, he raised his head and grinned at Li Manman.

"Thank you, auntie, Xiaohe likes to eat meat the most."

"Eat as much as you like."

As Li Manman spoke, he put another chopstick of meat into Miao Xiaohe's bowl.

Miao Xiaomiao looked at Li Manman's actions and saw that there were only eggplant and beans in her bowl. How could she not know that her aunt wanted to keep all the good things for herself and her brother?

However, the aunt's life in her husband's family was not satisfactory. Even if their family occasionally had meat to eat, the meat would not reach the aunt who could not give birth to a son.

Even so, Li Manman still thinks about the two sisters.

Thinking of Li Manman's later death in childbirth giving birth to her son, Miao Xiaomiao felt a dull pain in her heart.

This is the only elder she has in this world who cares about her.

She must not let her aunt go back to the old path of her previous life.

"By the way, aunt, why didn't my cousin come with me this time?"

"She is currently learning crafts from the proprietress of a garment shop in the county town."

"Cousin Yunyun is still young, so why did she go to learn a craft? Auntie, girls still have to go to school, otherwise they will be at a disadvantage when they grow up without knowledge."

After all, Miao Xiaomiao is a person who has lived a new life, so she naturally knows the importance of knowledge. This is the only way to change a poor family.

"Hey, Miaomiao, my aunt doesn't want Yunyun to go to school with her, but at home, his grandma said that girls will get married sooner or later, and learning more things is a waste of money. It's better to learn some crafts earlier. Make money early to support your parents’ family.”

"You can't say that, auntie. You and your uncle only have one daughter, Yunyun. From now on, you will have to rely on Yunyun for your pension. Let Yunyun learn more knowledge. When she becomes successful in the future, she will not be more filial to you. "

"That's right. There is no way for girls to be filial to their parents. In the future, they must not let their husbands poke their backs."
